(UPI)-The two hijackers in a crippled jet stranded on a small South Texas airfield weren't ready to concede defeat. The airplane was surrounded by police, it was out of fuel and had four blown tires, and the hijackers were weary from the 22 hour ordeal.

But that was only in ant after giving Eagleton 1,741.81 votes--far more than enough-they made him their unanimous choice.

"I know I'm 'Tom Who?" Eagleton told newsmen. "I know I'm not a household word. It's going to take a lot of work on my part." For openers, he sent word to a television commentator that he is Eagleton, not Eagleston. as the commentator had called him. His first name is Thomas, his middle name Francis, and by Nov.

7 most voters will probably know not only the names but the friendly, boyish, all-American face that with them. Eagleton's high school year book pictured him as a good hitter, fine fielder, but slow runner. That may have described Tom on the diamond but in politics it proved only two-thirds right. He has been running and winning since age 26, after graduating cum laude from Harvard Law School and briefly practicing law. He was elected St.

But he recovered in plenty of time to whip together an appropriate speech signaling the start of the long campaign ahead.

His main pledge, he said, was to "restore the dignity of the office of the vice presidency," which he promised would no longer be used as a platform for "cheap ratorical attacks that divide our nation."
